Repairing versus replacing in Carstairs

Replacing a board often means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Why book with us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Everything repaired in place

See our full price list.

What we cannot put right

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • Laminate swollen along the joints by water
  • Boards that have lifted or warped
  • Underfloor damage

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

  • Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
  • Solid wood
  • Laminate flooring
  • Engineered wood

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Common problems we fix in Carstairs

Chair legs, pets and dropped items scratch and dent wood and laminate, and moving appliances can gouge them.

Clients usually contact us about:

  • Scratches from furniture and pets
  • Chipped board edges
  • Burns
  • Gouges from moving appliances

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • How your room will be protected

What wood floor repair costs

Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How to get a fixed price

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A photo taken from further back

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
